I do not want to be held Not because I hate proximity I want it more than you think But I need to be held Tightly And you will only give me A gentle squeeze A polite embrace And a quick release You will not hold me together So I'd rather not be held at all

The Space Between an Embrace
I do not want to be held Not because I hate proximity I want it more than you think But I need to be held Tightly And you will only give me A gentle squeeze A polite embrace And a quick release You will not hold me together So I'd rather not be held at all
